The press is no substitute for institutions. It is like the beam of a searchlight that moves restlessly about, bringing one episode and then another out of darkness into vision. Men cannot do the work of the world by this light alone.

-- Walter Lippmann, (Sep 23 1889-1974), US journalist, editor, author; He won Pulitzers 1958, 1962, for his syndicated column, Today and Tomorrow.
